The kitchen is in the northwest corner. The position in the northwest is the hexagram stem, which represents heaven and the fathers in the family. It belongs to metal and is commonly known as Shoushan. It governs nobility, prosperity and longevity. The kitchen belongs to fire. If the kitchen in your home is located in the northwest, fire controls metal. Therefore, the kitchen in the northwest is not conducive to the male head of the family. Use earth to release fire and earth-generated metal to resolve it, so hanging an ordinary ceramic pendant near the stove can resolve it.
